Bottomline: Bowhunting is harder than gun hunting, but due to the long season, they have much more opportunities than gun hunters have on undisturbed deer.

Agreed Cat. Bow hunting does allow for a hunting of deer that for the most part are undisturbed. You have just identified another benefit of AR... it is called hunting for deer that have not all been shot at. This would require deer hunters to shoot only at deer that they have identified as being legal versus blasting everything brown in the woods.
